Having seen the recent thread on the Demolition of Annesley's bathouse and having recently heard that work had now begun on the headstock itself I've been looking through some of my photos from many visits to Annesley over the past few years.
I first visted Annesley in 2005 and the pit I saw then is very different to the one that those visiting saw up until the recent demolition, much changed for the worse in the time I've been visitng but with this post I'm trying to show Annesley as I remember it so I've biased the photos to include a range of earlier pictures of the main areas of the Colliery.
